We’re lifelong dog lovers and currently have 3 pups of our own—each one a rescue or a foster fail. Because we understand how important it is for dogs to have a safe, private place to run, we decided to open our property for others to enjoy. The perimeter fencing was originally installed to keep our own dogs secure, and it truly creates a peaceful, protected environment. Since our dogs aren’t outside all the time, it felt natural to share the space with fellow pup parents who want the same sense of freedom and safety for their furry family members. It has been such a joy welcoming guests and hearing how many special memories their dogs have made while visiting our Sniffspot. We’re grateful to share this little haven with you and your pups.

Partially Fenced

We live on a beautiful farm 2 mile from downtown Wallingford. You would NEVER know it was here lol. Tucked behind our house, It opens to an oasis we have 3 dogs that are all super friendly so if you want a dog to sniff and socialize this is the place for you. We have a French bulldog, and 2 mixed dogs all friendly! We have a pavilion you can sit in while your dog sniffs. We always have coffee, tea, and water for humans and water bowls for the dogs. The yard is not all fenced so we recommend dogs that come on command or the owner leashes them if necessary. Feel free to ask any questions or take a look before you book!
